With yum, I can create a respository from a folder of RPMs with the createrepo tool. What's the equivalent to turn a folder of .deb files into an apt repository?

This isn't about mirroring upstream repos or serving anything at scale, just simply taking a couple of built .deb packages and turning them into something I can point apt-get at.

There are several tools for managing repositories. The simplest one is dpkg-scanpackages, but a nicer alternative is reprepro.

  • reprepro seems to be the closest thing -- a bit more verbose than createrepo but also more powerful
